slow dawning
realisation that we will be travelling through most countries at either the coldest or wettest time of year. for each and every fricken country. I have basically signed on to subject myself to being miserable with the weather for 6 months straight. I am probably the only person in the world who looks at a 35C average daily temp in Thailand, and thinks, “oooh, i’ll probably be a little chilly in the shade”
I kind of knew already we weren’t selecting the most optimal weather timing (monsoon season in sea, winter below the equator). but it did not occur to me just how bad it might be.
